Our esteemed morning contemporary
meets some structures Of the PRESS upon
Commissioner Edgerton's report relative to
Collector Seeberger's conduct in the Chicago
custom house with violent raid upon the
Republican party. This is not exactly per-
tlnent. The charge was that a member of
the commission had taken a position which,
II 1t were endorsed by the majority. would
practically nullify the law that they are
charged to enforce. The Argus replies that
the Republicans we're greedy for Office when
In power and that they are hypocrites now
that they are out Of power, Suppose these
propositions be true, do they render Mr..
Edgerton's performance any more excusa-
BILE? lie is public officer charged with the
enforcement of certain law. A complaint
that the law has been violated is lodged
with him, and the proof is pretty clear that
the complaint is well founded. Where
upon Mr.. Edgerton INDUCES in coarse
TRADE against the complainants, accusing
them Of being busybodies and Of being ac-
tuated by improper and discreditable mo-
tives. He has no word Of reproof for the
man who has evaded the law, his wrath is
all reserved for the civil service reform asso-
Citations which called attention to the evasion.
Inc PRESS characterized this as an improper
ana undignihed performance, and attributed
II 10 tne commissioners contempt for the
law. we submit that regulation Demo-
cratic tlrade at the Republican Marty ia NOT

"No man in the country can know" says
the President in the recent interview pub
lished in the New York World, ''the embar-
easements and the perplexities which have
surrounded me in attempting to amend the
condition Of public affairs" The people will
be inclined to agree with him that the ''per.
plexities and embarrassment" of a Presi
dent surrounded by the Democratic bosses
must be something fearful and wonderful
and il this is an appeal to the public to judge
him leniently for his sins of omission and
commission, and attribute some of them to
his bad company there is reason in it. But
after making the practical confession that
the "embarrassments and perplexities" are
too much for him he ought not to intimate
that 1t may be fol the good of the country
for him to be President second term, for
the 'embarrassments and perplexities" will
be present in as strong force in his second
term as in his first, and his power Of resis-
lance will be no greater. Certainly it cannot
be for the good of the country that the wab-
bling policy that these ''embarrassments and
perplexities" have produced should proceed
further.

Mr.. Powderly proposes to reconstruct the
Knights of Labor on a new basis His
scheme 10 to cOncede to each trade the right
to form its own union under the jurisdiction
OF the general assembly. The original poll
cy Of the Knights of Labor organization was
to ignore the trades unions, and it was the
fond dream Of its founders that in time the
unions would disappear and all laboring men
whatever their trade, would be brought into
one organization. Experience has taught
the Chief Master Workman that the dream
cannot be realized. The effort to bring it to
pass has bred discord among the laboring
mon and arrayed great numbers of them in
open hostility to the Knights. Mr.. Powderly's
circular is practically an announcement that
this attempt is to be abandoned, and the dis
tinctive idea on which the Knights of Labor
was founded to be allowed to perish. If his
plan is adopted we may be sure that it will
not be long before the slender thread by
which he proposes to bind the trades I'M
ions together will be broken, and the con-
dition of things thar existed befsre the APP
pearance of the Knights restored.

Count Mitkiewicz who has just obtained a
very valuable concession from the Chinese
government has, if the New York papers
tell the truth, very unsavory record. Steal
ing diamond rings seems to have been one of
his weaknesses. Hewas twice caught at this
business, but escaped the penitentiary be-
cause the owners of the stolen property
dreaded the publicity his prosecution would
give them.

The Toronto Globe has very little hope of
final settlement of the fisheries dispute by
the proposed Washington conference 'be-
cause Canada is sure to be misrepresented by
the representatives. of government controlled
by railway monopolists, and by manufac-
turers who get their profits out of the public
taxes The Globe has set its heart on
commercial union between the two countries
and any plan of settlement Of the fishery dis
pute which does not contain this as its main
feature it regards as worthless.

The latest exploit of the Dominion navy is
the capture Of small boat containing two
men fishing for haddock to make chowder.
The capture took place near Eastport. and
the story is told by one of the captives in
another column. 1t reflects great credit on
the vigilance of Capt. Pratt and very little
on his common sense. The Dominion Off
Gals have been inclined to construe the
treaty strictly but Capt. Pratt is the first one
who has carried it to the absurdity of cover
ing boat with pleasure party catching
fish for dinner

Mr.. John Albion Andrew, he that was the
Democratic candidate for Governor of Mas
sachusetts year ago, thinks one such ex-
perlence quite enough, and so he has in
formed the Democracy through his friend,
Mr. Moorfeld Storey, that their candidate
again he cannot be, The reason given is
that he is Obliged to remain abroad during
tho present year, and will not be home until
after the campaign. That is good reason,
but probably it is not Mr.. Andrews's only
reason nor his best one.

Ii Mr.. Henry George, with the assistance
OF band of enthusiastic, but, in the main,
not particularly trained or learned men and
women can abolish poverty, surely these
300 physicians, with their practised talent,
their stores of science, their wide experience,
and their deep insight into the mysteries
and the disorders of the human mechanism,
ought to be able to abolish disease. Why do
they not start an anti-disease society? In
deed, as disease is a bitterer evil than pow
erty, ought not Mr.. Georges ant-pauperists
to go to work and abolish disease before
tackling poverty?

Chairman Oberly of the Civil Service Com
mission in answer to question of the board
OF examiners of the Cincinnati postofice,
says it is the opinion of the commission
that the Postmaster at Cincinnati cannot
lawfully remove any carrier or clerk for the
reason that the carrier or clerk belongs to
the political party to which the Postmaster
is opposed. that he can lawfully remove no
person from the classified postal service at
Cincinnati except for some other cause than
the employees political opinions or affilia-
tlons. 1t is safe to assume that Commission
or Edgerton does not concur in this opinion.

been very short distance. One they were
able to follow into the House where its flu

The debts and assets of Mr. Henry S. Ives,
the young Napoleon of finance" who so
astonished Wall street by his inancierng
make an interesting and instructive showing.
His assets consist Of yacht of the value of
$S5,OOO on which there is a mortgage of $780,
900, pair of bay horses, several carriages and
two sets of harnesses, all of which will yield
about S25,s75. This is rather a slim showing
for man to make who short time ago was
proposing to buy the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. Among his debts are $3.50 for CLOTH
ing, SIG for hats, SLIGO for jewelry, $57 foI
boots and shoes, $40 for flowers, $50 for live
ry service, S132 for silver ware, and S3S for
rent of piano.

The State Fair has closed, after the most
successful four days in its history. 1t is es-
timated that the receipts will be sufficient to
pay all the expenses and wipe out quarter
Of the debt of $4,000. If the weather favors
the Society for three or four years to come,
1t may confidently be expected that in that
time it will entirely wipe out its debt But
weather is mighty uncertain. In looking
over the reports of the officers one is struck
by the amount of deadheadism that prevails.
Enough free tickets are issued to admit 1900
daily during the continuance Of the fair, and
probably most of them are used.
